Hi guys, great site. This is my first post. I recently inherited a 14ft Mirrocraft with a 20 horse Johnson. Was sitting in the field for 15 years so i took it home and cleaned it up and bang she runs beauty. My problem is that the Model/Serial Plate has removed or broken...i don't know. Anyway can someone possibly tell me the model so i can order parts. There is a decal on the air box that says 1979. Thanks for the help.

Lift the cowl and on the top of the engine behind the flywheel towards the back there could be a little frost plug looking disc with some numbers on it. If there is let us know the numbers and someone can find the model number from that hopefully. Best of luck. Rick.

Re: Need help with Motor

that seems like the era for that motor,go to the bombardier website,they bought over OMC(Evinrude ,Johnson)they have great parts breakdown site.You cn likely find your eng.by comparing the eng.to prts breakdown.The likely prts you will need like,waterpump parts,coils,points condenser will fit many years and horsepowers,so you probaly will be able to figure it out,as Rick mentioned ,you may find a disk with the info on top of powerhead.Though you got it running,I suggest you change impeller,Im suprised it pumps,and thinking about it,your eng wouldnt take points and coils under the flywheel you should have the cd ignition which is much more reliable.If it were an old under the flywheel coil system, you probably wouldnt be running.Flush the fuel system, well, it must have been stored properly for you to get running no prob.after all the yrs,good luck
